The world has not given women due credit
for her inventive faculties. Few persons
realize what an important role she is playing
in the designing of numerous articles, useful
as well as ornamental The records of the
patent office show that fully 1900 patents are
claimed by women. Moreover, not a small
number Of the patents granted to men are
really for ingenious devices and ideas that
have originated in a feminine brain. The
women of New York have been granted more
patents than their sisters in any other state.
The women of Massachusetts,, Ohio Indiana
and Wisconsin rank next in order. In ma
chinerv women have done much. Almost
daily improvements in sewing machines come
from her brains. In the model room of the
patent office, nearly side by side with Elias
Howe's machine, is one made by Miss

Safety of Women.

Women in the cities go about at night
much more freely than ever before without
male escorts, and seldom experience dscom-
fort. In Philadelphia the street car or a ham
som habitually takes up one woman, or the
pairs or trios of women, who are out after
dark about their own serious and useful bust
ness or their dignifed pleasures. There has
hardly greater change come upon any civ
ilized community of late years than that
which now governs the customs OF women in
traversing the streets of American cities at
night Philadelphia Ledger.

A Box for the Bride.

At recent wedding tin box was provided
in which We're placed a sheet Of paper con-
taing the autographs Of all present, list Of
the gifts received, photographs of bride and
groom, piece of the wedding cake and the
brides dress, one of her gloves, some of the
orange blossoms, and everything else Of in
terest; the box was securely fastened, not to
be opened for twenty five years. The mother
of the bride had had a similar box prepared,
and found the opening of it twenty-five years
after an event of such interest that she advised
her daughter to do the same.-New York

Cuban Ladies' Head Dress.

In all the cities of Cuba the ladies. no mat
ter what their rank or means, go to the
theatre uncovered. A mantilla or gossa-
mer head scarf of lace is the most that they
wear in their carriages or in the streets on
the way to the play, and indoors these pre-
lenses are removed and one sees them as they
appear in their parlors. 1t is pity that New

Coming at the Wrong Time.

Why do business men hate womenl Be
cause, as a rule, women do not know how to
behave in places Of business. They come at
the wrong time; they say the wrong things,
and they stay too long. After the business
which they ostensibly came for is transacted,
they chatter about an infinity Of nothing,
wearing the soul Of the business man who is
too polite or weak minded to get rid Of them.

Relief for n Burn.

a painful burn is often received during
kitchen work Without making any other
application, break an egg, cover the burn
with several coatings of the raw white, al
lowing each one to dry before putting on au-
other as often as the film of egg becomes
loosened, renew it; by thus keeping the burn
free from the air and contact with any sub
stance, it will heal quickly, and no wrappings
are neeied.-Juliet Corson in Harper's

An Oath With Gloves On.

1t has generally been considered an indis-
pensable part Of the formality Of slking an
oath in an English court that the witness
should remove his glove, If he happens to
wear one, before taking the book in bis hand.
Recently judge has had the courage to give
an opinion that there was room for doubt
whether a man may not swear perfectly
good oath with his gloves on.

of many men who might resign their places
to women.-Harper's Bazaar.

CYCLES.

CYCLES, unicycles, bicycles, tricy-
cles, and the like, are in occasional
fashion; but there never was a time
since man looked upon the sun and
moon when the cycle, or circle, did
not have its effect upon his imagina-
ton. As mechanics were evolved, the
cycle, as ring, wheel, hoop, or disc, be-
came involved in all the arts and
sciences. The cycle early became a
fayorite symbol of human life in some
one or more of its various aspects, and
suggested often inscrutable mysteries.
The recurrence Of day and night, the
successions of the seasons, the wheel
ing of the heavenly bodies, the forms
of the great lights in the heavens, the
concavity of the blue dome overhead,
the shapes of fruit, the convexity OF
the egg and eye, and many phenom-
ena, both of nature and mechanics,
gave the cycle place of mysterious
reverence in the regards of the
thoughtful 1t appears in art, archi-
lecture, worship, and is at once the
most common and useful, as well as
the most sublime and perfect, of the
forms into which nature shapes itself.
Early observers noted the fact that
in the more concealed elements of
human conouct and experience there
was tendency to a round of phenom-
ena, as if nature could do nothing in a
straightforward way. Just as we
discover that there are no
straight lines of motion, but that
matter, passing from one point
to another, is always DETECTED
from the right line and tends always
to return upon itself again, 80 we find
that the hidden streams of human life
are going round and round, and CON-

AMONG those of the editorial frater-
nifty who met in Yaquina to form a
much needed state press association
recently were the editors of the
Albany Democrat and the Yaquina
Post. After fraternal greeting and
the interchange of usual courtesy, the
Albany Democrat man returned
home. In the next issue OF his es-
teemed paper he says that the editor
of the Post is a liar, a sneak and a
slanderer, and that he drinks beer. II
is such little incongruities as this that
make it difficult to insure a state
press association the success that
und. less indulgence of unseemly
personalities it might be. Not the
least regrettable feature of the divis-
ion among the brethren is the fact
that the gentlemanly editor of the
Albany Democrat has espoused the
cause of prohibition and the equally
gentlemanly editor of the Post has
seen fit to oppose that measure. And
the election or selection on that ques-
ton is still over three months in the
future. 1t is to be hoped that the
probable fall rains may temper the
ardor and undue zeal of the arguers
pro and con.

The song, John Browns body lies
a moldering in the grave" is just now
receiving considerable attention. The
much disputed authorship appears to
be a matter more of inquiry than
knowledge on the part of most of the
writers, from the Century down.
THE Historian steps modestly to the
front with the information that the
words of the song were written by
Frank E. Jerome. Mr.. Jerome is now
one of the editors of the Russell,
Kansas, Record. He was not thirty
when the song appeared.

SOME VALUABLE HINTS.

THE members of a San Francisco
minister's association have spared
time from their multifarious duties to
instruct editors in the best methods
of running newspapers. Their KIND
ness is especially graceful, because
the editors, in the pressure of work,
have neglected the duty of imparting
to the clergy any knowledge they may
have possessed on the subject of con-
structing sermons. We are pleased to
see that this laxity has not occasioned
any ill-feeling among our clerical
allies. but that they are still as will
ing to favor us with their journalistic
wisdom as if we had given them the
full benefit of our ideas on ecclesias-
tical affairs.
We are sorry that the members OF
the club are unable to approve OF the
press in general, but we can hardly
blame them. The Rev. Mr.. Smith
said that the number OF good news
papers from San Francisco to Boston
could be counted on the hand. We
confess that we have some curiosity to
see his list. OF course it includes
THE AsToRIAN, but it would be inter
esting to know whether it conceded
in other respects with our own. The
Rev. Mr. Brown, we are obliged to
believe, went too far. He thought
that reading newspapers-anda appar,
emily he made no exceptions-was In
furious to the mind. Such fear
seems to us unfounded. We
may be too sanguine, but we feel con-
fident that Mr.. Browns mind could
not be injured by reading newspapers
The Rev. Mr.. Jones was more prac-
ticaL He is now editing weekly re-
ligious paper in that wicked city, and
he intimated that if his brethren
would give him the money needed to
start a daily he would make his paper
interesting and attractive. Whether
they were not sufficiently familiar
with his paper, or possibly because
they were, the members do not appear
to have handed over the money as
promptly1as might have been expected.
Mr.. Jones went on to make another
suggestion which strikes us as show
ing less familiarity with the subject
than his first remarks implied. He
advocated prayer for the conversion
of editors and said that after their
conversion good paper would newt
ably follow. What does Mr.. Jones
suppose to be the present condition OF
editors? Has he ever attended re-
ligions symposium in the editors Of
fee after the paper has gone to press!
These unguarded reflections upon the
religious state of a hardworking and
deserving class will cause pain which
we are confident, Mr.. Jones did not
mean to inhict. And is it fair to
charge the editor with all the un-
pleasant things in a paper? Ii the
brethren could cut the Atlantic ca
bles, our journalism would be mate.
rally elevated.
Among the many valuable sugges
tions offered, we have space to men
ton only one more. The Rev. Mr.
Robinson said that the way to ex
terminate Sunday newspapers was fol
the ministers to preach against them
We trust that this novel plan will be
adopted. And the length of time re
quired to kill the Sunday papers by
sermons will be a useful measure o.
the popular strength of the pulpit.

ing back to the place whence they
started.
The discovery was a startling one,
when it suggested that there were
forces at work upon us deeper than
our own will and consciousness. In
some, it ministered to superstition; in
some to fatalism; and some saw in ii
the leading of divine Providence.
Any one who thinks may find in il
food for consolation or possibly sug-
gestion of fatalism, according to his
hope that the good or the evil is
wheeling back upon him without con-
troll of his volition.
One thing is certain: no man can
live through the ordinary life of a
generation without opportunity to see
the coming in of things he thought
had gone out forever. If he be hope.
full, he will grasp at the lost roses
swept within his reach again by the
tide. If he be pessimistic, he viii see
with disgust the wheeling into sight
again of the refuse of thelast generation
Great thoughts lose their power and
die away, to reappear again with new
and singular charm. Mean supersti
tions are thrust away, and then come
trooping back into places swept clear
by reason and science.
